Scientists predict that we might meet aliens within the next decade.

Some scientists predict that we might meet aliens within the next decade, particularly following NASA's announcement of its Jupiter Moon 2030 mission, which aims to explore this 'habitable' water world.

Since the 1970s, Earth has been sending out transmission signals into space. Some believe that these signals will eventually attract the attention of extraterrestrial beings.

The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) project has been working towards this goal for the past 50 years and expects to achieve it by 2036.

This theory received support from scientists.  

Seth Shostak, the senior astronomer at SETI, supports this theory. He believes that the continuous improvement in hardware, particularly computers, will lead to a signal by 2036.

Shostak also argues that the existence of life on other planets is highly likely, considering the vast number of planets that could potentially support life forms.

In the post shared on Reddits, he said:  "The trend of improving hardware - mostly computers -- has proceeded unabated. I'm still betting on a signal by 2036.”

He added: “That may be the strongest argument for life in space. Because, if there isn't any, there's something really exceptional about what's happened here on Earth.

While that's not ruled out by the data, it does seem a little self-centered.”

The researcher predicted that we could hear back from the star is in 2029, as it’s 27 light-years from our planet.

Researchers at the University of California believe that the signal sent to the satellite would be returned by extraterrestrials.

NASA's Deep Space Network (DSN) has sent signals to Pioneer 10, a satellite heading towards a white dwarf star.

Researchers anticipate hearing back from the star as early as 2029, given its distance of 27 light-years from our planet. They believe that the signal sent to the satellite could be returned by extraterrestrials.

A 2023 study by Manchester University suggests that the increasing number of satellites could make us more detectable to extraterrestrial life.

Professor Mike Garrett from the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics at The University of Manchester argues that despite the decrease in powerful TV and radio transmitters.

The proliferation of mobile communication systems has made Earth anomalously bright in the radio part of the spectrum.

Professor Mike Garret told Daily Mail: “Current estimates suggest we will have more than one hundred thousand satellites in low Earth orbit and beyond before the end of the decade.

The Earth is already anomalously bright in the radio part of the spectrum; if the trend continues, we could become readily detectable by any advanced civilization with the right technology.”

This is not the first time people have made contact with aliens.

In a separate incident, a teenager reported spotting an eight-foot-tall 'demon creature' in his backyard. 

He  believed to be an alien. 

The encounter, which was reported to the Metro Las Vegas Police Department, left the teenager traumatized.

In an interview with NewsNation, Angel Kenmore said that he saw a bright light fall into his yard before witnessing the creature, which is 'eight feet tall with big shiny eyes

"We were in the backyard, and then, out of nowhere, we just saw a big light fall down," Kenmore said. "It basically crashed in the backyard. And a couple of seconds later, I saw the big giant creature in front of me."

n the interview, Kenmore remembered the creature growling in his backyard, 'like a dog.' "It was moving and breathing. It was pissed off like it wanted to do something looking at me," Kenmore said.

At that moment, he felt the supernatural being had control over his body, as he said, "I couldn't move."

After the incident,  he shared his experience in a YouTube video, which gained significant attention on social media.
